ANNEX a to ITEM 8 Central Bletchley Regeneration Strategy
ANNEX A TO ITEM 8 Central Bletchley Regeneration Strategy - Executive Summary Key Principles Use & activities Currently, Bletchley town centre remains comparatively unattractive to property developers and occupiers. The environment is out dated and creates a negative image for the town and its communities; reducing its ability to attract significant investment. This in turn has led to less people using the centre, creating lower expenditure and investment within the town. Bletchley needs to move forward from its existing primary role as a discount and value retailing location and strengthen its role as the second centre for the city of Milton Keynes. The challenge for the Framework is to create the conditions for Bletchley to promote itself as a place quite distinctive from the rest of Milton Keynes, yet complementary to CMK in its scale and richness of uses and activities. Achieving this will require the town to increase the diversity, quality and range of uses and activities offered in the centre. The Framework promotes the growth of key uses and activities including diversified mixed-use development; new retailing opportunities; residential town centre living; an evening economy with a range of restaurants, bars and cafes; employment opportunities to stimulate appropriate town centre employment; a new leisure centre and cultural and civic uses to fulfil Central Bletchley’s role as the city’s second centre. Access and Movement Pedestrian movement and cycle access throughout Central Bletchley is severely constrained by highly engineered road infrastructure, the railway station and sidings and through severance of Queensway caused by the Brunel Centre. Congested double roundabouts at Watling Street and Buckingham Road offer poor arrival points into the town and restrict car access into Bletchley.

IRON ROUTE - Romans, Rivers, Trams and Trains Full Route - 9.5 Miles 5 Mile Break Point Estimated Walk Time: 3-4 Hours Estimated Cycle Time: 2-3 Hours
IRON ROUTE - Romans, Rivers, Trams and Trains Full route - 9.5 miles 5 mile break point Estimated walk time: 3-4 Hours Estimated cycle time: 2-3 hours Get active and explore Milton Keynes with our Cultural Routes Route Description: Whether you walk cycle or run, this route has something for everyone, showcasing the very best of Milton Keynes’ arts and heritage to be discovered in the northwestern area of the city, including Stony Stratford and Wolverton. We suggest starting at Wolverton Train Station for those coming by train or via the Redway network. Alternatively, park in the Ouse Valley Car Park off Newport Road, and proceed in an anti-clockwise direction on the Sustrans National Route 6 through the Ouse Valley Park. As you pass through the Floodplain Forest Nature Reserve, following the contours of the River, be sure to look out for the wild Konik ponies introduced in 2017. If you are completing the shorter 5 mile version you will leave the route just before the Iron Trunk Aqueduct and head back to Wolverton, joining the main route at Stratford Road. If you are completing the full 9.5 mile route, you will continue along the leisure path into Stony Stratford Nature Reserve, finally departing The Parks Trust land at Millfield and head along Willow Lane into Silver Street. You will pass the Stony Stratford market square and Wall Mural by Zoe Maslen (2016), before crossing the original Roman Road – Watling Street. Don’t forget to explore the Old Tram Sheds before heading out of Stony Stratford back to Wolverton.
